I've read many reviews and forum threads on this topic but i can't really decide..
I'm interested in a mid Tiger but don't really know which one i should buy. There are 2 choices:
1. Dragon Mid Tiger (6624) for ~ 65€ (+30€ for AM tracks)
2. RMF Mid Tiger (5010) for ~60€
The interior and its flaws/inaccuracies included in the RMF kit does not bother me cause i'm planning to build the hatches closed anyway.
I'm more concerned with the outer appearence/accuracies/details.
Some more opinions are very welcomed!
cheers Chris

You can see the Dragon 6624 built-up and instructions.
There's very little to choose between the exteriors of the two kits. Dragon's is a little sharper and a little more accurate - for example, Rye Field's front hull wall is a little too narrow for the hull, but you can fix that with plastic card.
But two big distinctions do exist:
1. Only the Dragon kit has Zimmerit molded on
2. Dragon have flexible "DS" tracks while Rye Field have individual links.

Thanks for the info David.
In the end it all depends on my personal preference?
RMF Tiger:
+ workable indi link tracks, way more PE and cheaper
- selfmade zimmerit
Dragon Tiger:
+ better plastic details, a little more accurate, zimmerit
- DS tracks, way less PE(details), expensive
Hmmm i guess i'll go for the RMF Tiger.
cheers Chris
